| | Mound: East | | Previous names: TP1 | | | Location: East Mound. Southern crest of the East Mound.
The TP Area excavations were conducted between 2001-09 by teams from the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology, Polish Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Prehistory, University of Poznan. Located at the southern crest of the East Mound, immediately to the east of the 1960s Area A. The aim was to investigate the latest phases of the occupation sequence. At this highest location of the East Mound the area had been occupied in the classical period and then as a cemetery site into the 12th century. By the end of the campaign the area was linked to the 1960s trench. The study of these later periods is providing significant data for the transition of Neolithic to Chalcolithic at Çatalhöyük and thus linking work on the both the East and West mounds.
History: Currently backfilled pending further work.
